 May. The soil should be light, sandy loam,

t , _ all-round use. 



In this variety we combine a very dark red 

 color and round root, which make it very 

 desirable. It is also very early, maturing 

 several days before others of its class. The 

 shape is uniformly perfect. It is one of 

 the smoothest Beets on the market, being 

 free from fibrous side roots which are so 

 objectionable. The flesh is a rich, dark, 

 blood-red color, tender, crisp and deliciously 

 sweet. It has a small, short top. Pkt. 5c.
